getting rid of air con GQ would it cause any problems?

Post by steveoo »

I am thinking of getting rid of the air con out of the patrol. I remember reading once from somewhere that if you removed the a/c compresser it would be uneven on the engine and can do damage to the engine is this crap or would it be fine to remove it?

A/C pulley bearing's about $10 from bursons. Belt's around the same. I used to have to replace them all the time from driving bogholes.

But if you don't need/use a/c then convert it to run as a mega high powered air compressor. And remove condensor to allow your radiator to breathe better or create room for an intercooler :armsup: :armsup:

I'd do the same but it gets too hot in Melbourne summertime to run a daily driver without a/c.
